Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only gambler to make it to the last poker table in three of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000. You may remember one of the largest pots in high stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu. Gus secured a big pot with 4 of a kind against Negreanu’s full house. Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While playing web poker, a different side of Hansen has appeared. He frequently participates in the 200/400 No Limit maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very poorly. He sits there waiting for a good hand and then goes all in. I accept that Hansen is an outstanding poker player but certainly not even close to the regular players at 200/400NL. Unless Gus is bankrupt, he has little or no reason to play at the table with the min buy-in.

Playing for the minimum takes almost all of the ability out of big stack poker. Gus is presumed to be one of the greatest players anywhere in the world but he cannot buy-in for the total amt.. I believe tv can alter our perception of the real world every now and then. The best players in the world could be players you have never heard of. Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He normally participates in high stakes omaha eight-or-better and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a competition player. Can he use his talents in cash rounds?
